The treatment
How Radio Frequency (Forma) works
Forma delivers controlled radiofrequency energy to warm the skin and stimulate collagen production over a series of sessions. The heat is precisely managed for comfort, and the effect on the skin builds gradually rather than appearing immediately. At The London Road Clinic it is used for mild laxity and fine lines on the lower face, jawline, neck and selected body areas. Results are intentionally modest and progressive, not a facelift alternative.

"I do a course every year. It is not dramatic and it is not supposed to be. My skin just looks consistently tighter and healthier than if I left it alone." (Representative client experience. Individual results vary.)
